Lush is one of those shops you find by following your nose. Friend Ashley introduced Lush to me in 2000 and we have made it our mission to visit as many as we can. The one in Covent Garden is a treasure trove and very much like the Tardis - considerably bigger inside than it looks.

I found the one in Rome by literally following my nose - it was tucked away in a market square so I just stood still, sucked in a noseful and followed the lovely smells.

The Lush at Garden City can be smelled as far away as Laura Ashley.
